Acharya Prashant explains that the conventional foundation of human relationships is often rooted in a sense of incompleteness and self-interest. Most people enter relationships with the assumption that another person will provide fulfillment, pleasure, or utility, effectively creating a social contract based on mutual exploitation. This center of relationship is inherently fragile and prone to violence because peace is maintained only as long as personal desires and needs are being satisfied. When these expectations are not met, conflict inevitably arises. He argues that true aloneness is not about being anti-social or isolated, but about achieving a state of inner existential completeness. When one relates to others from this center of aloneness, the relationship is no longer parasitic or based on dependency, but is instead rooted in love, compassion, and truth.
